20 Credits

Concentration in Hispanic Studies fosters awareness, knowledge and understanding of the Hispanic world. It offers the student an opportunity to engage in a concentrated study of the diverse culture, art, language and history of Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Hispanic North America and Spain. Given the continued importance of Latin America to the United States and the increasing population of Hispanics in the United States, this focused program of study will be advantageous to those students entering the job market as well as transfer students.

Students may choose to complete this concentration of study and have it posted to their transcript ONLY when the student successfully completes the Associate in Arts Degree, AA-DTA . Otherwise courses taken will transfer to four year universities on a course by course basis only.

Students are urged to consult with their Green River advisor to plan their programs of study. Students are also urged to consult with a representative from the university they plan to attend.

Students must complete the required courses with a 2.5 GPA.
